Tracy Arm, Alaska
Named after Civil War General Benjamin Franklin Tracy, Tracy Arm is one of the most beautiful fjords in Southeastern Alaska. The fjord’s floating ice, breathtaking views, and resident wildlife including occasional bears, seals, and a variety of birds, make it one of the most talked-about scenic destinations for travelers to Alaska. Accessible only by plane, ship or boat, the fjord covers 653,179 acres and is located 72km south of Juneau, the capital of Alaska. The entrance to Tracy Arm is located five miles north of mile marker 900 in John Upton’s Alaska Cruise Handbook. The North Sawyer and South Sawyer Glaciers are located at the end of Tracy Arm; however the path to view these glaciers is blocked by impassable large floating pieces of ice. Nevertheless, the mountainous walls, resident wildlife, steep waterfalls and native vegetation make for spectacular photographs.

Wanted the dof but not the shaky part :))) I read somewhere "don't rush to delete your shots". Not a prize winner but I somehow like it.
I'll wait till tomorrow, when we have snow and rain to compose one more time this effect. And maybe somebody will walk by with a dog :))
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

A cold snap hit Hong Kong around 9 deg celsius. Unlike North America, there's no heat indoors in Hong Kong unless you have an electric/oil heater plug-in. Even with the electric heater on, I'm still wearing a robe and a toque (beanie) at home.
One of my favourite subjects...the Central "homeless plastic bag lady". I hope she's holding up in this cold. Decided to take a photo of her spot from above.
Taken last week when we saw the sun, it's been so grey, dull, dark, cold and depressing since...
Bugger off Winter!
For Monday's Photo Challenge and Thursday Retread group - "take a photo of something portraying cold." This is actually a bottle of frozen water in our freezer. Sorry to have been absent for the last several weeks!
Try to do everything with pleasure and joy. Until you have mastered the joyfulness of doing a job – consider that you don’t know how to do it.
Pleasure Beach - Walking out on a boardwalk towards the beach my sensor couldn't help but soak up these "cold" yet warm colors.
